The Advantages of Dedicated Virtual Private Network (VPN) Appliances

Overview The ability of virtual private networks (VPNs) to provide cost-saving network security has prompted many vendors to add VPN security solutions to their product lines. This white paper briefly examines several hybrid VPN configurations, including software, firewall, and router-based VPNs, and compares their suitability for certain applications with Cylink's dedicated VPN appliance, NetHawk. The objective is to help network administrators, systems integrators, IS managers or anyone planning to deploy a VPN to select the best solution for securing communications among their corporate offices, remote branches and mobile employees.
